Well, after two phone calls and two visits to two different Sports Authorities stores; I was able to get store credit on my busted Cleveland 3 wood club during lunch time. The managers at the Cerritos store was nice enough to give me store credit toward a purchase of a new club. The in house golf specialist at SA talked me into getting a Maxfli brand graphite 3 wood to match up with my TaylorMade driver (since Maxfli the ballmaker, is now a division of TaylorMade/Addis Golf). I was so please with the trade in that I went ahead and got a matching 5 wood to go with my replacement 3 wood.
I couldn't wait to get off work to try my new clubs. I had just gone to the driving range on Friday and Sunday (not being able to find anyone to play a round of golf with). So as soon as I got home, I got my clubs and ran off to the range. I had to buy a new range card but's it's an investment.
My practice got off to a slow start since I'm starting to keep track what distances I'm actually hitting at and how well. My new clubs were so so at first but after I got warmed up, I started hitting 200 yarders with both 3 wood and 5 wood. The 5 wood pops some really high loft shots (I think it's a 19 degree loft), pretty impressive!
It was really fun time!
